Why doesn`t Skyrim has cloaks? : V

» Tue Oct 23, 2012 12:55 am

I have played skyrim for a long time and since the beginning i wanted my caracter to have a cloak, but there was none. Serious guys, who wouldn't like to have a cloak in there caracter? I hope that the next skyrim dlc dragonborn has cloak has an individuali armor.

I also miss cloaks.. I would love a furcloak like in the "winter is coming"-mod. Something to put on when in snowy areas, or when there is a blizzard. It would really add to the rp'ing experience.. This svcks for xbox/Ps3 players. The only available cloaks are for "evil" armors. I would love something that looks warm and practical.

I just hope that "dragonborn" has the ability to make cloaks

Probably because they're stiff and generally a little crappy in that respect. Kind of like horse storage. Horses aren't that great, but if you add a storage compartment to them, you just spotlight that ugliness. As Todd Howard explained in the DICE keynote.

Does dragonborn has a release date?

Are you a pc player or a xbox/playstation player?

Cloaks are good. I miss that from Morrowind, being able to wear robes OVER your armor...
--So I could approach some bandits, making them think it's just some lowly traveler, then whip it off like "Surprise, mother[censored]s!"
--In Bloodmoon, wearing the raggity brown robes and things because it's [censored]ing cold!

Daggerfall also had hooded cloaks, which were spiffy.

Er...PC?

Then of course you can have your team with cloaks. While we that use an xbox or a playstation dont have the option to use mods to get cloaks.

The fact that a game like Two Worlds 2 could have free-flowing capes and Skyrim cannot does strike me as a little odd.

As far as I remember neither Oblivion nor Morrowind had cloaks either...

Me too, it's not like it's a revolutionary technical achievement to include them in a game. With Skyrim i annoys me because it would just fit so well, so it kind of sticks out.

So is this Bethesda thing maybe? You see them in plenty of other games like dragons dogma, ac, Red dead (dusters with texture flow) and so on..

Yeah but the physics and look of cloaks in TWII was horrible. When you ran with one on it looks like you were in a wind tunnel and the cloak was made of paper the way it easily flailed around.

Sorry, just pulling your leg. Seriously though, I don't think it's above the capabilities of the consoles to have cloaks. I started playing Skyrim on console so I know that they must be more than powerful enough to allow characters to wear cloaks. Maybe not as many or as detailed as the PC cloaks, but it surely must be possible.

They probably don't feel the need for them. Doesn't Dawnguard have cloaks by the way?

Well, you did run very fast in that game, and most of it was set in wide open spaces where I just imagined there was a lot of wind.
But a more recent game like Dragon's Dogma also had cape physics (as well as actual cloaks) that worked just fine.
It's not as if they couldn't (and haven't already, through mods) be implement in Skyrim in a future DLC.
I mean, I payed $5 for a house, I'd pay the same for a cape/cloak store.

No.Only Serana has one if she is in contact if the sun.

I wish they add cloaks in the next game, along with hair physics.

Well.. You have the royal vampire armor or what it's called, but again only for "evil"-looking armors.

*have.

Anyway, I don't mind the lack of claoks. What I mind is that I can't wear pants without wearing a shirt. My favourite type of rogue in Oblivion was a leather boots, leather greaves and leather bracelets using nord, with a fancy shirt.

Yeah, in a medieval society most people who could afford a cloak or be able to make one (made of wool, or leather, etc) would have one.
Especially somewhere like Skyrim, where it's [censored] cold all the time.

Probably because they would look horrible unless they had physics, and with a game the scale of Skyrim, that would be impossible on consoles at this time.
